- White House, Treasury, DHS and DoW join forces to launch Gold Eagle plan
- The initiative will avoid duplication of work and prioritize vulnerability remediation.
- Gold Eagle will also help identify which systems could be at risk
The US government has launched Gold Eagle, a new clearinghouse that seeks to centralize vulnerability discovery and remediation amid evolving AI-driven security threats.
Gold Eagle will serve as a hub between federal agencies, artificial intelligence developers, open source software developers, and critical infrastructure companies, in an attempt to increase the speed of vulnerability discovery and prevent major incidents from occurring in the first place.
The plan emerged under President Trump’s June 2, 2026 executive order “Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security” and represents collaboration between Treasury, DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the War Department.
US Gold Eagle Scheme Addresses Growing Vulnerability Exploitation
Under the scheme, vulnerability scanning will be done centrally to ensure that multiple organizations do not repeat the same work independently. Gold Eagle will also identify what software, networks and critical infrastructure could be at risk, before coordinating solutions. The White House described the plan as a “force multiplier.”
Although AI is largely to blame for the rise in attacks, Gold Eagle is prepared to fight fire with fire by employing AI to identify errors as well, using models like Anthropic’s Mythos.
“Through this strategic partnership, we will expand existing security measures to safeguard software and networks into the 21st century and continue to advance advances in artificial intelligence,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin wrote.
The concept of a dedicated clearinghouse centralizes vulnerability management to ensure the right bugs are prioritized and eliminate the noise of lower quality reports. Your help will most likely reach the open source community, which has limited resources and financial backing to identify and fix problems as effectively as enterprise software vendors.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are giving the cyber domain a warfighting foundation to relentlessly patch vulnerabilities,” added Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
